Meet the Man Who Claims to Have Visited Every US & Canadian Ski Lift

Peter Landsman is a lift supervisor at Jackson Hole in Wyoming, USA.

He runs a website called Lift Blog, where he documents aerial transportation across the world.

Landsman recently finished his goal of visiting every chairlift, gondola, and aerial tramway in North America.

In total, Landsman has visited nearly 3,000 lifts and says they are all unique.

“Every single lift is designed for a specific place on a specific mountain,” he said.

“One that stands out technologically is called the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, which is up at Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia. And it’s the only “3S” gondola in North America currently.

“So it’s got three different cables and it goes between two mountains and the highest point, it’s 1,400 feet in the air.

“So it’s a very unique lift particularly for North America and probably my personal favorite.”
